JuHN ROACH DEAD.

John Roach, the famous New York shin
builder, died at his late residence in that
city at S:06 O'Clock Monday morning Late
Saturday morning he awoke from slumber
produced by morphia TO agony that nc
Opiate could subdue. His suffering con
tinued all day Sunday without intermission.
When Dr. Bleden told him he would SOON
be at rest he whispered his joy and there
after frequently cast his eyes upon a small
clock near his bedside, evidently marking
with supreme qualification the passing of
the hours that were bringing him eternal
relief.
The story of the life of John Roach is
one of hard, indisputable facts and not of
poetry and romance. Born in Ireland, of
poor psrentage, he experienced poverty in
all its many forms. His enthusiasm for
America was aroused at an early age by an
uncle who pictured to him the glowing
possibilities of residence in this, the land
of liberty. When John Roach landed on
the shores of the new world in 1892 he was
sixteen years of age, poor, pennilcss,
stranger in a strange land He traversed
New York from one end to the other with
out finding employment, at night sleeping
in boxes, in alleyways and doorways, until
at last being directed to brickyard in New
Jersey, he trugsed pluckilY and triumph
antly to the goal which made him what he
was in later years. His indomitable pluck
lifted him brayely over all obstacles en-
countered in his journey through life. He
was seventy years of age at the time of his
death, and represented fully the possibili.
ties of America. The funeral took place
Thursday from his late residence. A large
eoncourse of relatives, friends and admir-
ers of the ''plucky Irish boy'' following the
remains to their last resting place in
Greenwood cemetry. RequeScat IN pace.

INCREASE IN DRUNKENNESS.

Drunkenness having greatly increased in
Switzerland, writes Berne correspondent
to the Chicago Tribune, the Swiss are
about to try new experiment for restrict
ing the sale of alcohol. The manufacture
Of spirits has been made federal monopo-
ly, all distilers being required to sell their
produce to the State, which will then resell
1t to the consumer The quality will be
improved, strict regulations being enforced
as to the substance used in distllation, but
the retail price will be raised, the federal
government expecting to raise e40O, 900 q
year from the monopoly, l-2 per cent. of
which must be spent by the Cantons on
measures calculated to check the abuse of
alcohol. 1t will be interesting to watch
the effect of this experiment. which is the
first effort ever made on great scale TO re-
duce the consumption of concentrated al
eohol, while leaving that of diffused alco-
hol, as In wine and cider, untouched.
American teetotalers will think tho effort
thus limited very foolish, but doctors, we
suspect, will be of different opinion. Il
will be observed that when the State has
once obtained tho monopoly it will be pos
sible, il that Is thought wise, to sell spirits
on doctors orders only-say for two years
--aHd see what is the result of that.
